Yours And Mine
Scripture:
Jesus (lifting His face to the heavens) : 1 “Father, My time has come. Glorify Your Son, and I will bring You great glory 2 – 3 because You have given Me total authority over humanity. I have come bearing the plentiful gifts of God ; and all who receive Me will experience everlasting life, a new intimate relationship with You (the one True God) and Jesus the Anointed (the One You have sent). 4 I have glorified You on earth and fulfilled the mission You set before Me. 5 In this moment, Father, fuse Our collective glory and bring Us together as We were before creation existed. 6 You have entrusted Me with these men who have come out of this corrupt world order. I have told them about Your nature and declared Your name to them, and they have held on to Your words and understood that these words, 7 like everything else You have given Me, come from You. 8 It is true that these men You gave Me have received the words that come from You and not only understood them but also believed that You sent me. 9 I am now making an appeal to You on their behalf. This request is not for the entire world; it is for those whom You have given to Me because they are Yours. 10 Yours and Mine, Mine and Yours, for all that are Mine are Yours. Through them I have been glorified.” (John 17:1-10 The Voice)
Because the disciples had heard the words Jesus had shared with them; had actually understood them and believed, they could now have a relationship with the Father. And now today, that relationship is also available to you and me. When we hear the words that come from God and believe we can have the relationship of being a child of God.
I thank You today for the relationship I do have with You, Father. I know, and remember, that You know my name and accept me as Your child. I truly belong to You. AMEN
You alone are my God. O Lord, You give me happiness for You are good and so full of unfailing love. You listen to my prayers always. Psalm 86
